First rehearsal back after the NW area contest. Great rehearsal for our upcoming concerts.
Last weekend we said goodbye to two of our players Colin Moody (Repiano cornet) and Emily Moody (principal euphonium). Both have been tremendous assets to the band over the years but they have taken the decision to concentrate on being parents for while with their young son George. We wish them all the best.
Tonight we welcomed our new principal euphonium player Hal Walker to the band. Welcome to the team Hal and well played tonight. 2 weeks 17 hours ago.

We were happy with our performance today and the band were in fine spirits on and off the stage. Soloists were outstanding! If that’s 8th place then so be it, we’ll take that but it doesn’t really matter. Playing well does. Finally, congratulations to Foden's Band, The Fairey Band and Leyland Band on their performances and well earned place at the National Finals. Have a great evening all and thanks for the support! 3 weeks 18 hours ago.
